i truely despair,people's selfishness will possibly turn themselves into killers,and quite likely their own family membersYet some people disregard what are front line staff are saying
We're not able to assess risks. I feel safe at the moment. I don't think I would if I was in regular contact with a lot of people, and if I had contact with at risk family members that would make it even more difficult. We don't know how long this will last but in terms of the rest of our lives it will be relatively brief. Plenty of time to recover financially, however if people need the money to get food on the table there is no option.A predicament. I'm self employed and need to work. I travel from workplace to workplace, throughout the day. I must continue to work, to pay the bills and earn enough to eat. The government who have been excellent so far(I didn't vote for them) seem to be ignoring our plight . My mates are mostly in the same boat and will continue to work, offering their services where needed to feed the family.
5 million is a large chunk to ignore, we will be out there perhaps as a major danger to health in this country. 94 quid wont do it for me. I feel guilt for something that has not happened yet, but what are my alternatives ?
U.K. now ahead of Italy on their curve. We’ve been consistently 15 days behind. Now we’re up to 230+ dead, they were at 197 15 days ago.
Shit’s about to get fucking awful.
I’ve got something against Ant Middleton. He’s a ****.
They are no better than the collaborators of occupied countries in any of the wars. Absolute scum.They should be reported then they will be fined more than they make. Joots I think it was called. The problem is desperate people will pay it and they know so. If you are in pain and everywhere is sold out people will pay. Better any shop doing such a gang should just storm it and take the lot, serve them right.
Yep.I’ve got something against Ant Middleton. He’s a ****.
Just concentrating on my mum and work mate. FaceTime her (without lying) 4 or 5 times a day to ensure she knows she’s not alone. This would have petrified my Dad so I’m glad his last days on earth aren’t consumed by it.How are you doing at the moment, bud?
I know you recently lost your dad and seeing all this stuff going on, you have had plenty on your plate.
Hope in the not far too distant future you can actually decompress and raise a glass properly.

Both of us run the same business. Had to close and have absolutely nothing coming in . Spent the last few days digging over the garden to grow veg. Can't think of anything else to do.Yep and if they had offered half the 80% that employed people are to get I wouldn't leave the house, and wouldn't be the risk that I will be. Seems a strange decision from the government, perhaps they have factored in the risk and are prepared to accept it. I am definitely not socially unaware o ly financially burdened.

This video may explain why. The title means.
With this many people on the street we are not going to beat this.
Cheers Tolm. I know it’s only words on a screen but they really do mean a great deal. It’s suddenly gone very dusty in here.Being there for your mum, your dad clearly did his job right.
Any father would take immense solace knowing their child stepped up when it was needed most.
There is no greater gift we pass on to our children, to know love carries on.
Think about how fucking stupid that comment is.
No one is getting turned away from Intensive care and sent home.
If you need an intensive care bed and got sent home you would be dead in hours. That's why it's called intensive care.
People who might otherwise be treated in hospital for minor issues are being turned away, mostly because they want to limit the spread of the infection.
No I'm just replying to people too fucking stupid to realise that until we reach max capacity, the difference in our early death rate cannot be due to being over capacity.
I'm not saying its going to be fine, I'm saying that for the conversation about current death rates, ICU beds isnt relevant.
It’s insane, day after day Italian doctors and professors on the frontline warning the UK and some others that they have to get this lockdown in place as they have never seen anything like this in their professional lives. I mean they’re not talking in Italian or anything in these interviews and some are pleading with countries to get their social distancing and lockdowns in place to avoid the hell they are experiencing.
In my area, government has banned eating in restaurants. Now the restaurant owners are setting up mass compact seating outside and people are flocking to them like flies, including elderly people. Doesn't this defeat the purpose?
